Even though summer is coming to an end, love is still in the air.

If you are a hopeless romantic like me, you probably have everything planned from your “first date” with a guy all the way down to which color bow tie he will be wearing at your boho-chic wedding.

Here are a few date ideas for all of you love birds out there. And soon enough you might see me out on a few of these dates! If national girlfriend day (August 1st) didn’t make you feel bad enough about being single, read this.

1. Picnic

Picnics are one of the cheesiest, most cliche, most underappreciated date ideas that have been around for centuries. Spending time in the great outdoors and looking into each other's eyes while gazing out into the distance will make any girl’s heart melt as fast as an ice cream cone in Florida. But since I am not in a relationship and I do not go on picnics, I stay home and pretend to count up the calories of the 12 perogies and 2 slices of pizza that I had for breakfast.

2. Drive in movie theater

Fill up the trunk of your car with big fluffy pillows, an oversized blanket, and some snacks and you’ll be ready for an amazing night in front of the big screen. But since I’m not in a relationship, there is no pressure on having a clean car because no one will be going back there. My trunk can be filled with empty water bottles, old clothes that belong in the charity bins, Dunkin Doughnuts bags, high heels, hair brushes, Crocs, french fry containers, and Target receipts and I will not have a care in the world.

3. Coffee

Sipping on some coffee after a hard day at work is a great way to make sure there is still good communication in your relationship. Knowing her coffee order will get you some bonus points too! But since I’ll be standing alone in that coffee line, I will not be embarrassed for ordering my Caramel Iced Macchiato, Venti, Skim, Extra Shot, Extra-Whip, Sugar-Free with a piece or two of lemon cake on the side.

4. Sporting events

You should sit behind home plate! Make sure you wear those matching Yankee jerseys with your anniversary date on the back of them. Maybe you will even make it on the kiss cam in between the innings. Since I don’t have a boyfriend, I don’t have to play dumb about not knowing the difference between a strike and ball. Therefore I can yell at the players through my tv screen while I also have the privilege of checking out all of their booties. Because who doesn’t love baseball pants?

5. Painting with a twist

So let me get this straight. People are painting on canvases...while they are drinking wine…? Relationship or not, please sign me up right now!

6. Gym

“That’s a no from me.”

7. Going to an amusement park

You will be able to get that #goals Instagram post in front of Cinderella’s castle or while you split a cotton candy. You can walk hand in hand down Main Street, USA and make all of the middle aged women dragging around 4 kids wish they were 20 something again. Being single means you get to go with all of your friends. And in most instances, you go with a group of 5 so you are always the odd man out getting to sit next to strangers on rides.

8. Bowling or mini-golfing

Isn’t it so cute when he wraps his arms around you and pretends to show you have to swing a golf club? Then you can split an ice cream cone later and a bag of chips. But you know what, I’m fine with playing Wii sports in my basement, getting strike after strike.

9. Going to a concert

He’ll grab your waist as you sway back and forth to the music. He will give you his jacket as the sun starts to set and it gets cold outside. He’ll whisper the words of your favorite song as it plays in the background. While I’m at a concert, I want to scream (sing) so loud my friends can pick out my voice on the Snapchat videos they tried to take. So having a guy there would be embarrassing, I wouldn’t be able to be my true, raging self.

10. Bike ride

Riding side by side, or if you’re feeling a bit risky, riding hand in hand down by the river is a perfect idea for a date. You’re getting some exercise without even realizing it! Maybe you’ll get to see a little bit of wildlife while you are out there. But since I don’t have a boyfriend to go with, I can stay home and pretend that walking to my fridge counts as cardio.

If you couldn’t tell I was slightly bitter writing this article. So please share this and help me find the man of my dreams who will take me on some of these dates.
